The Extended Professional Development Initiative (EPDI) model outlines how partners can work together on an identified focus, initiative or project over the longer term (3 mths, 6 mths, 12 mths or longer) which will have a significant impact on the quality of practice and provision.
Projects and Initiatives start from where you are and usually include a self-evaluation so that you can identify what you need to do to develop good practice;
Initiatives Include;
- Talk for Reading
- Talk for Maths Mastery
- How young children Learn – The Characteristics
- Child-initiated play and learning
- Sustained Shared Thinking
- Peer to Peer support
Cost:
The cost depends on the initiative and size of the cluster, how long the period of support is and how many partners are involved. It is a great way of sharing costs between clustered groups
‘Terms’ are defined by Autumn, Spring and Summer but projects can begin at any point you decide upon.
